VAN WERT – The sounds of a large crowd, laughter, and fun could be heard within blocks of the Wassenberg Art Center on Friday evening as a crowd of over 200 people gathered for this year’s end of the campaign event for the Van Wert County United Way. The “Fiesta Fun Friday Reverse Raffle” was moved to the center in an effort to reach this year’s fund-raising goal of $500,000.
